Naperville Weapons Charge Attorney

The laws that govern who can have a gun and how they can possess it are often misunderstood by people. Many fail to realize that they are putting themselves in a position where they can be at risk of facing a weapons charge.

There are two types of weapons-related charges that individuals can be charged with:

Unlawful use of a weapon — There are laws that control how and where you can be in possession of a firearm. Having a loaded weapon in your car, for example, would be a violation of the law. Unlawful use of a weapon can be charged either as a felony or as a misdemeanor.

Unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon — Individuals who have been convicted of a felony are barred from possessing firearms. Most people understand that they cannot possess a gun. However, few are familiar with the concept of constructive possession. Simply having a gun in the house that you could have taken control of may be a sufficient basis for a conviction. This may be charged as a felony or misdemeanor as well. Factors such as the type of gun and where it is found will affect that decision.
